[The hemodynamic effects of a number of new hypotensive preparations]

Assessment of the initial data on hemodynamics in patients with stage II essential hypertension made it possible to differentiate indications for the use of some new hypotensive drugs. In the treatment of patients with stage II essential hypertension, preference should be given to arelix and minipress in case the total vascular resistance is initially high, whereas in hypertension of ejection, it is better in long-term treatment of patients with stage II essential hypertension, that the drugs producing an effect on the stroke volume of the heart, namely arifon, and tobanum, may be applied. All the drugs enumerated exert a negligible effect on the microvascular blood flow.
